The other sprint QF was a mess with them relegating one of them and probably the last sprint as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 That was a really clever move by Matt Walls in the Omnium points race - feinted that he was swinging out to go back bug then sprinted to take lap points and sprint points - now 27pts up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Walls now 30pts ahead with just over a third of the race to go.He's totally controlling this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Walls wins the gold.Never looked like losing it.That was also a fantastic move by the New Zealander Campbell Stewart to get the silver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Wasn't Derek Redmond brave?" No, he probably fucked his leg more, and he actually got DQed because his Dad helped him over the line 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Olympics is the pinnacle of athletics sporting prowess, not some fucking 2-Bob school sports day event where “everyone’s a winner”. Same happened the other other day with some gymnast bint that fucked up here first vault but had, and I quote “the bravery and inner strength to do her second one.” She came last, rightly so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Odd ending to the womens bronze medal football match, as the Aussies were attacking, the ref stopped the game, then decided she had had enough and just blew for full time. I suspect it was actually a VAR check, and had it been a penalty, the game wouldn't have been over. Seemed strange though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 13 year old team GB skateboarding medalist says that she wants to compete in the in both the skateboarding and surfing at the Paris 2024 olympics. One slight issue with that. While the skateboarding is in Paris with all the other sports, the surfing is being held in the French overseas territory of Tahiti which is 10,000 miles away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Would be really good to have a wide angle camera at the athletics so you can see what's going on all over the arena, watching folk running round as javelins fly and folk pole vault would be great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I always worry the javelin is gonna hit someone. Most likely KJT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
